I needed a wall clock and the ideal area for it was a horizontal rectangle. A round clock didn't look right so I searched for the right shape. This one is perfect! The copper and rust tones are ideal plus it's light weight and was easy to hang with no help. It draws notice and positive comments immediately when someone enters the room. The only downside is the clock faces are a little small. I can read them from across the room, but it IS a small room. If you need something visible from a greater distance this might not work for you.
